Location, location, location

You are right on the seaway and in town. You can walk to the locks if you are a walker (it's about a mile or so), you can set your chair up on the grass and watch the big boats go by.

But it is essentially a parking lot. The sites are almost all on a blacktop lot; they ARE wide. Each site has a picnic table and fire pits are scattered throughout. We took showers in our RV so I can't comment on those.

Bottom line: If you are here to watch the big boats and like to be in town, this is the place to be.

All depends on the spot you get...

After deciding we wanted to stick around Sault Ste Marie for a few more days, we found availability at this campground in one of their canal front spots.

Prior to this we had stayed at the Aune Osborn city park down the road, but they were unable to get us in over the weekend. So we were thrilled to find a spot here.

It is a fairly nice park, and the staff friendly. It's seems moderately well maintained and is also waterfront like the city park. However unlike the city park, the spots here can be pretty close quarters.

The waterfront ones are quite nice however, and worth it if you can snag one. The canal ones are small, but still give you a nice view. And some of the overlook spots up the hill give a nice view too. In the middle of the park are several oversized parking spaces on asphalt that looked pretty miserable and tight.

This park, unlike the city run one, does allow motorhomes to pull in forward to optimize views. Which does mean that you could end up 'awning-to-awning' with your neighbor. We ended up with really nice neighbors so this worked out well.

The WiFi here was temperamental - we had to have the owner come down and reboot the router to get it working again. And cellular signal here was quite degraded, at least at the bottom of the campground. We had difficulty keeping our Verizon MiFi online. Also, we were unable to pick up any US TV stations, just Canadian.

We did enjoy the location, as it's a nice 1.5 mile walk into town - which makes for a nice evening stroll.

All and all, an enjoyable stop. We had a relaxing time and would return again if the city park was unable to accommodate us. Just be careful in the site you select - some are nice, and some are rather crammed in.
